What you do is get a smelly proof bag from your head shop. Put some gloves on (latex) then grab a handful of bud and toss in a regular sandwhich bag, then take off gloves and put that bag into a Smelly Proof bag. That was you have less smell on the outside of Smelly Proof. Then put in a mason jar and wipe jar down with soap n water. Shove that in a sock or two and set it in a shoe box, wrap and send normally.
Put a fake address for sender, you must have an address from sender.
Less than 20$ US mail More than 45$ fed x etc.
This is good advice.
Yes the dog will smell ______ and pot. But this method if done cleanly would work. I have heard (means not much) that oven bags work also.
That being said, I doubt that edibles would throw off a good Malinois!
UPS and FedEx have had some bad publicity regarding this. UPS cooperated with the DEA for "Operation Green Merchant" in 1989 giving up shipping records from hydro shop orders.
UPS AND FedEx both are known for opening packages containing homebrew for contests or gifts and emptying containers, wrapping back up and delivering...often with not even a note.
IF the USPS was using drug dogs for domestic mail...they would hit on every package or letter that was handled by someone who rolled a joint...or the piece of mail was on the table where you cleaned a bowl...or touched your car...or the mailman who smokes out at lunch. I work at a school that brings an obviously poorly trained young Lab through the classrooms on occasion, and the dog often hits on objects like notebooks...which contain nothing but have been touched.
Just like ordering seeds, a fake name is a red flag and should be avoided.
I have had things stolen by USPS (not weed..a pair of vans for my son a month after 9/11, and cash in a card to FDD for a piece of glass 8 mos ago or so)...so once you send it...say good bye and hope for the best!
